Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />3. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION <br />Water <br />Protection of Roseville's water resources is addressed in the Water Resources <br />chapters of the Comprehensive Plan (Surface Water Management, Water Supply <br />System, and Sanitary Sewer System). <br />Land <br />Background <br />The land underlying Roseville is itself an important resource. The soil contains the <br />nutrients and micro-organisms that allow trees, gardens, and other vegetation to <br />grow. Soil serves as natural filtration of precipitation as itseeps intosurFacewaters <br />and underground aquifers, and itslows runoff after rainstorms as it moves towards <br />built storm water infrastructure. The land supports the foundations of the <br />structures that make up the built elements of the community. The vast majority <br />of Roseville's land has been put to use as residential neighborhoods, commercial <br />and industrial districts, and parks and open spaces. <br />One of the current issues facing potential developers of property, is liability due to <br />contaminated soils. Minnesota was one of the first states to address, through <br />statutes, the liability issues associated with buying, selling, or developing property <br />contaminated by hazardous substances. The Minnesota Land Recycling Act of <br />1992 provides statutory authority to quickly approve cleanup of contaminated <br />properties and provide land owners and lenders assurances that minimize <br />potential liability. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Voluntary <br />Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program can streamline the time and expense of <br />cleanup that may be required through a normal Super Fund process. The VIC <br />program was established to provide standards for site investigation, MPCA review <br />of the adequacy and completeness of investigation, and approval of cleanup plans <br />to address identified contamination. Depending on the type and degree of <br />contamination, the MPCA will provide various levels of assurance to voluntary <br />parties completing response actions, property owners, financial institutions, and <br />future property owners. <br />The Minnesota Petroleum Release Compensation Fund program has been utilized <br />at several gas stations in the community to clean up contamination from leaking <br />underground fuel storage tanks. This program provides 90 percent <br />reimbursement of eligible cleanup costs, which include investigation, <br />development of remediation plans, and cleanup of contaminated soils and ground <br />water. It does not cover the costs of tank removal or replacement, or cleanup of <br />non -petroleum tank leaks and spills. <br />Chapter9 I Page 3 <br />
